I don't have weight to report...I'm on strike against my scale. It's betrayed me enough times ;) Seriously, I want to stop focusing on weight and thinking about it all day. The last time I did weight myself though I hadn't changed. I'm trying to focus on my choices instead. Weigh-ins only make me more neurotic about weight leading to multiple weigh-ins/day, and don't really change my behaviors. Why is that? I suppose it's the nature of the compulsive stuff.

I worked out twice last weekend. I know it's nothing compared to what I was doing (45 min to 1hr 15 min 5x/week), but it's more than I have been doing the past couple of weeks. I apologize, but now is where I admitt I'm a butt head. I hear some of you say that you dont' have much time to even work out. (butt head part) And, I thought that was just an excuse. Turns out, ya, I'm there right now with you. I teach college courses 5 days/ week along with doing research. And all the prep that goes into making a lecture that introduces things to people new to the subject yet still interests the students that think they know it all (because they're graduating). I'm exhausted by the time I get home...and usually have to do work at home as well. But, as I'm getting ahead in my lectures again I'm starting to get more time to be able to work out. Yay! And, I'm trying to be more conscious of what I'm eating.

Last, but certainly not least...I don't want to jinx it, but I'm sleeping again and in a much better mood. I have anxiety that wakes me up (how fun, huh?), but that hasn't been as much the problem lately. I have some undiagnosed neck problems. I get headaches fairly easily and things like masages give me a migrane for 3 days (they can't resist trying to get the knots out). So, I think I was waking up from my neck pain and stuff. But, not for the past 2 nights. I got a new pillow. I don't know if that's really it, but I'll take it! You don't realize how nice sleep is until you don't get it!
